This crockpot cheeseburger soup combines savory beef, creamy cheese, and hearty vegetables into a comforting and easy-to-make dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded or diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: bacon bits, green onions, additional shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to your crockpot.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the cheese mixture into the crockpot and stir to combine. Let the soup cook for an additional 20-30 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  7. Serve hot, topped with crispy bacon bits, green onions, or extra cheese.

Notes

[‘Browning the beef adds depth of flavor to the soup.’, ‘Cut vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.’, ‘Use freshly shredded cheddar for the best melt and flavor.’, ‘If the soup feels too thin, add more flour to thicken it.’, ‘Avoid overcooking the soup, especially on high heat, as the potatoes can get mushy.’]
